Wesley Lawrence Willis (May 31, 1963 – August 21, 2003) was an American musician and visual artist. Diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1989, Willis began a career as an underground singer-songwriter in the outsider music tradition. Willis' songs are typically partially spoken in an MC style, and partially sung in a nasal and out-of-tune manner reminiscent of punk rock vocals. They feature bizarre, humorous and sometimes obscene or absurd lyrics sung over backing created by using the auto accompaniment feature on his Technics KN keyboard. His songs cover a wide variety of topics, with mental illness and consumerism being the most prominent themes.

Hoewel hij zijn eigen muziek beschreef als "rock-'n-roll" wordt zijn werk geclassificeerd als art brut vanwege zijn onconventionele wijze van musiceren, aangevoerd door paranoïde schizofrenie.

(eo) Wesley Willis (* 31. Mai 1963; † 21. August 2003 in Chicago) war ein US-amerikanischer Künstler und Musiker aus Chicago. Seine Musik ist gekennzeichnet durch Einfachheit und die teilweise bizarr wirkenden Texte, ähnlich einem Bewusstseinsstrom. Im Laufe seiner Musikkarriere (1989–2003) komponierte er über 1000 Lieder. In seiner Kunstkarriere (1976–2003) zeichnete er hauptsächlich Architektur aus Chicago; bevorzugte Motive waren dabei Busse, Highways, Fast-Food-Restaurants und Wolkenkratzer.
